Epithelial Dysplasia in Oral Cavity

Among oral lesions, we encounter a series of malignant epithelial lesions that go through clinical and histopathologic processes in order to be diagnosed. identifying these processes along with the etiology knowledge of these lesions is very important in prevention and early treatments. dysplasia is the step preceding the formation of squamous cell carcinoma in lesions which have the potential to undergo dysplasia. identification of etiological factors, clinical and histopathologic methods has been the topic of many articles. this article, reviews various articles presenting oral cavity dysplasia, new clinical methods of identifying lesions, and the immunohistochemical research which proposes various markers for providing more precise identification of such lesions. this article also briefly analyzes new treatment methods such as tissue engineering.
